I’m possibly making a game that heavily features a wheelbarrow… Any other games that do this? #gamedev

For me, twitter was a constant flow of screenshots. Here, I rarely see any. Who can I follow to see more WIPs and games being built?

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

The older you get, the less time you have to play games. What you play has to be really worth it. In my case maybe a couple hours a week.

Following more devs than I ever did on twitter. However my feed here has next to zero WIP videos. Why could that be?

This thread is absolutely what we need to hear
In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right?
But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

With the amount of amazing games out there, stores need to a better job at recommendations. I see the same games being featured ALL the time and zero “old-but-golds”

When an indie dev says their game cost $X to make. Is that based on salaries they made up?

That "indie" is where innovation happens generally isn't true anymore. We iterate to breakthroughs. At large, indie is more risk-averse & homogenous than it's been - publishers gatekeep, focus on graphics, and balloon budgets. Innovation comes from self-published games launching their practice game.
